Best Band to Break Up in the Past 12 Months (2007)

Die Stinkin'

This punk-rock band's members ranged in age from "barely old enough to drink" to "nearing retirement," but they all had a natural don't-give-a-fuck attitude that reminded you of your favorite group of high school misfits who just got a license but couldn't afford a car. So when they broke up last year, it was like losing a first love. They were the unifiers who kept the rest of us young, and their equal-opportunity disdain for anything mature was as infectious as their three-chord melodies. Fortunately for all involved, the boys of Stink started seeing one another again in secret  a small benefit show here, a warehouse show there  until they finally reunited. Who knows how long it'll last, so enjoy it while you can.
